Hm, as if I didn't get enough spam already! There is no efficient way to
stop spam yourself, since those mails in general are ordinary mails in
every technical way. You might ask your provider to narrow their spam
filter, but...it will never be 100% "secure". Sigvald, there is no
reason to suspect DCML being responsible for the knowledge of your
e-mail address. The mere presence of you on the Internet is enough. For
example, my own e-mail address sko at inducks.org is beginning to
receive spam, but not only that, also e-mail addresses which do not even
*exist* at inducks.org get spam.

Best,
